This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems comprising this book, and the stories they tell came to me at various times throughout my late 30's and early 40's. I don't know why. I confess, though, that I never discouraged them. When the poem repeated itself long enough in my head it became indelible there and I typed the poem on my portable Royal typewriter. I doubt they were heaven sent, and even if they were I may have unwittingly changed them as I converted Almighty Speak to my Prairie English. As a flat-lander I have a tendency to generalize most of what I see and what I hear so these poems are, at best, a "generality" of what came to me a half of my life ago. I hope you like them, but they come with no guarantee.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in Cooperation with the William P. Clements Center for Southwest Studies, Southern Methodist University This iconic description of the interaction between the vast central plains of the continent and the white Americans who moved there in the mid-nineteenth century has endured as one of the most influential, widely known, and controversial works in western history since its first publication in 1931. Arguing that "the Great Plains environment . . . constitutes a geographic unity whose influences have been so powerful as to put a characteristic mark upon everything that survives within its borders," Walter Prescott Webb identifies the revolver, barbed wire, and the windmill as technological adaptations that facilitated Anglo conquest of the arid, treeless region. Webb draws on history, anthropology, geography, demographics, climatology, and economics in arguing that the 98th Meridian constitutes an institutional fault line at which "practically every institution that was carried across it was either broken and remade or else greatly altered." This new edition of one of the foundational works of western American history features an introduction by Great Plains historian Andrew R. Graybill and a new index and updated design.

Download or read book The Big Empty written by R. Douglas Hurt and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Plains, known for grasslands that stretch to the horizon, is a difficult region to define. Some classify it as the region beginning in the east at the ninety-eighth or one-hundredth meridian. Others identify the eastern boundary with annual precipitation lines, soil composition, or length of the grass. In The Big Empty, leading historian R. Douglas Hurt defines this region using the towns and cities—Denver, Lincoln, and Fort Worth—that made a difference in the history of the environment, politics, and agriculture of the Great Plains. Using the voices of women homesteaders, agrarian socialists, Jewish farmers, Mexican meatpackers, New Dealers, and Native Americans, this book creates a sweeping survey of contested race relations, radical politics, and agricultural prosperity and decline during the twentieth century. This narrative shows that even though Great Plains history is fraught with personal and group tensions, violence, and distress, the twentieth century also brought about compelling social, economic, and political change. The only book of its kind, this account will be of interest to historians studying the region and to anyone inspired by the story of the men and women who found an opportunity for a better life in the Great Plains.

Download or read book Civilizing the Great Plains written by Don Wilbur and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Great Plains looked attractive to newcomers to America in the 1800s as they grabbed at offers of homesteads. What they experienced were perils, not only from Native American tribes intrinsic to the Plains, but from killer dust storms, cruel winters, and lost crops. Those homesteads in the Great Plains that once were the sites of battles and sandstorms gave way to the hard work and persistence of pioneer families, to blossom into great fields of grain and lush pastures. The hardy, brave farmers and ranchers held on until they turned the dry earth into the breadbasket of the world. Read about families who grew up there and can tell about it first-hand."--Back cover
